Services
Our services provide a powerful array of practices that promote personal growth and healing. We specialize in somatic experiences that effectively connect the body and mind, parts work (IFS) that fosters meaningful inner dialogue and integration, and deep work immersion sessions that lead to profound self-discovery. Our community events and groups create a, supportive environment for connection and shared learning. Join us to elevate your awareness and deepen your connection yourself and others.
We place great value on showing up in an authentic and genuine manner, that clearly conveys, “I see you. I see your struggle. I see that you need to be seen. I feel that you need to feel. I am present. You are safe to express yourself. It is safe to connect with me. We can do this work together. You are not alone in the struggle.”

![Trying to be the perfect therapist nearly broke me.
Not because I didn’t care.
But because I cared in a way that cost me my health and vitality.
I believed I had to give more, know more, be more, do more. I believed responsibility for healing lived with me.
So I stayed in my head always thinking, tracking, fixing while my body quietly carried the weight.
What I didn’t realize then is that the same pattern showing up in my work was the one shaping my life and impacting my relationships.
Over-functioning.
Self-abandonment.
Safety through effort.
My worth was tied to the way I showed up, the way I performed.
Slowly I began to crash.
My health was suffering.
The coping skills that always worked so well for me were no longer helping.
This was more than burnout. I was doing ALL of the things to change my schedule to shift my work and still felt like I just could not keep up.
It wasn’t until I slowed down enough to feel what was happening inside me that things began to shift.
Not by doing more.
But by listening.
Somatic practices allowed me to slow down, to feel and to have the space [and regulation] to be able to listen.
Parts work helped me to unpack the beliefs and layers of protection that were keeping me in the same old patterns.
Gradually I built a relationship with my body and my parts.
One where I could sense when I was pushing, bracing, or disappearing.
Where I could pause and listen to the wisdom that already existed within me.
Now I can recognize when I have drifted too far or when my schedule is too full.
It was never about being regulated all of the time or about being the perfect therapist.
It was always about being present with myself and with my clients.
If you’ve done therapy…
understand your story…
and still feel like something isn’t landing in your body. This work is for you.
My Immersion Sessions aren’t about fixing or forcing change.
It’s about creating enough safety for your body to do what it already knows how to do.
You don’t need to try harder.
You don’t need the perfect insight.
You need space, attunement, and time
to listen to what’s been carrying you all along 🤍](https://scontent-lhr6-1.cdninstagram.com/v/t51.71878-15/623756938_860138423681396_3703404157871797443_n.jpg?stp=dst-jpg_e35_tt6&_nc_cat=102&ccb=7-5&_nc_sid=18de74&efg=eyJlZmdfdGFnIjoiQ0xJUFMuYmVzdF9pbWFnZV91cmxnZW4uQzMifQ%3D%3D&_nc_ohc=1_NBrOjk4qgQ7kNvwFs7a3G&_nc_oc=AdmhisJTWwQZsDKN4ow2_61g4VXAsNA-anxV-Z-HODN4MwxiWrs4-3MzMgY2tCpxd-8&_nc_zt=23&_nc_ht=scontent-lhr6-1.cdninstagram.com&edm=ANo9K5cEAAAA&_nc_gid=IO8I70letZ8Ws7Sibavk3Q&oh=00_Afv92O2q7nvyUrVMXKBJcVzSCvkXjAlahBsWmW4nfldKZg&oe=6987BC59)
![It isn't easy.
In fact carving out time for myself, for my own practices has been REALLY hard for me for a long time.
I do okay for a bit and then something happens to throw off my rhythm and it is a struggle to find the space again.
The past year my self practices have been almost non-existent. That is a story for another day...
I am leaning into what feels hard around creating time and space for myself. Looking at the beliefs and old patterns.
The "work first" belief or the "I will have time after I finish [fill in with any and every task on my never ending list]".
My people pleasing parts really want to make sure everything else is done before they will calm enough to give space for play, fun, creativity, even taking care of myself.
But I am trying this a different way. I am holding this time and space as sacred. Not to be interrupted by ANYTHING.
In the process I am witnessing what feels hard, what parts need tending or care when the resistance to take care of myself first shows up.
The practice is to just show up. No rules about what that looks like or what requirements about what has to be done.
Just show up and work with what is present in that moment. Do what feels good for my body and soul in that moment.
In the process I know I am teaching my nervous system something new and I am reworking the messages and beliefs about taking care of myself.
I have been frustrated with this because I worked with this part and belief SO much a few years ago. But this is a new layer, there is something ready to breakthrough. I can feel it.
This is what Embodiment looks like for me in this season. Just show up and let the wisdom within lead the way.](https://scontent-lhr6-2.cdninstagram.com/v/t51.71878-15/605436289_2584063161969218_2727672623763714452_n.jpg?stp=dst-jpg_e35_tt6&_nc_cat=100&ccb=7-5&_nc_sid=18de74&efg=eyJlZmdfdGFnIjoiQ0xJUFMuYmVzdF9pbWFnZV91cmxnZW4uQzMifQ%3D%3D&_nc_ohc=kchAQgMZRd0Q7kNvwGFm-g8&_nc_oc=Adlb00kc82b1DZf6wvcu953CErR16owIkqgYTWi0oePfUDTc6Ao6H6H1gKDBy8uwVZY&_nc_zt=23&_nc_ht=scontent-lhr6-2.cdninstagram.com&edm=ANo9K5cEAAAA&_nc_gid=IO8I70letZ8Ws7Sibavk3Q&oh=00_AfsRDnVujoq8PYx6Eul7RlDzaXGg9IYXiPDsmmwWo-_xIA&oe=69878BBE)
![The magic of Somatic work and Breathwork is PRESENCE.
The most commen thing I hear from clients after Somatic work or Breathwork is that they feel more capable of managing difficult things that come up in their lives.
It isn't about making the difficult things go away but about being able to be present while feeling the emotions, having the hard conversation or in the moment - without abandoning yourself.
Essential Embodiment brings these pieces [and so much more] into a group experience so that you can walk away more present in your own life.
We start September 12th and would love for you to join us.
Comment or DM EMBODIMENT and we can chat about the details.
